Husn Jab La-Jawab Tha, So Tha,

Husn Jab La-Jawab Tha, So Tha,

Aur Us Par Hijab Tha, So Tha,

Zindagi, Zaindagi Hi Thi, So Thi,

Aur Jeena Azaab Tha, So Tha,

Hum Agar Thay, Faqat Humee'n To Na Thay,

Ek Zamana Kharab Tha, So Tha,

Tum Pay Aana Tha Dil, So Aa Hi Gaya,

Haaye ! Andha Shabab Tha, So Tha,

Apni Wehshat Ka Haal Kya Kehiye,

Dasht Bhi Aab Aab Tha, So Tha,

Hum Bhi Khana-Kharab Thay So Thay,

Wo Bhi Khana-Kharab Tha, So Tha,

Ab Yahan K Nawab Hum Hi Hain,

Lucknow Ka Nawab Tha, So Tha

Dekh ! Peeny Ki Mashq Kar Zahid,

Tark-e-May Ka, Sawab Tha, So Tha

Kuch Jo Poocha Dasht K Baaray Mein,

Kehtay Hain Wo, Janab Tha, So Tha ..
